    Sound is better than I expected. I purchased primarily for use with Blink Doorbell, to use for chime and announce motions detected. But have also started using it for Amazon Music.

    Purchased to replace a second generation Dot that has gone a bit flaky with WIFI. The sound is MUCH better, although I won’t be replacing my other Gen 2 Dots for this reason alone. However, it is worth spending the extra $10 to get this latest version.

    Always wanted one of these. Now that amazon has redesigned this new generation, it makes it even more appealing. I am able to control my Hue lights and smart plug connected to my Christmas tree but also get information, time etc. I highly recommend it.

    Now a days, who isn’t on their phone? Pretty much everyone is. Alexa helps you do things like remind you to do soemthing, can answer calls, send text messages, even turn off the light for you (if you have the light plug in). Who doesn’t want all that?!

    I got this Echo dot as an upstairs accessory so I don't have to yell at my Echo show downstairs. It was easy to set up and works perfectly for. I also bought one as a Christmas gift for family members new to Alexa and they love it.

    What a bargain. I have been wanting to add voice assistance devices to my garage and kids bedrooms to complement the devices I already have in the rest of the house. All promotions counted cost me $64. + tax for three Dot's. I created household groups and can play music throughout the entire house or select rooms. Replaces alarm clocks and provides individual customization for each room. Packaged well, easy intuitive set up right out of the box. Plug and play with a little interaction of the Alexa app. Highly recommend Amazon smart devices and Best Buy!

    I have to be honest. This came free with another purchase and was something I never thought I’d use, but it is awesome!! Perfect for playing music, setting timers and so many other things. Yes, a phone can do all of this too, but Alexa is hands free!!

    Straightforward installation, I use these around the house to control my home automation system. I prefer this over the Echo Show because I do not use a screen for anything and it does not support Arlo streaming yet.

    I shop a lot from amazon and love how they have everything, but I still don’t feel that Alexa orders properly for me. I try to be specific and she doesn’t always fully understand what I’m trying to order. The sound quality isn’t bad, for the price. Could sound better, but then I would have to buy a more expensive unit. I have my HomePod for listening to music. This is more for listening in on other rooms in the house.

    I listen to music and turn up the heat in the morning when I don't want to get out of bed. I'm sure it does lots of really cool things, but I haven't explored the options as yet. Came free with my Ring camera.

    Bought this to add to my whole home WiFi system. Synced flawlessly with my wireless systems. Now I’m able to contact my kids without having to yell or physically go to their rooms. Loaded with options and lots of functions.
